The Void Page #4

is gonna collapse.

Can you hear me okay?

Loud and clear.

The stairwell to the basement

is at the back of the building.

Roger that.

Got it.

Look.

Someone's been here.

Kim!

Where are we going?

The door to the morgue

should be right there in

front of you.

I don't see any door.

Just a bunch of corridors.

You sure this is

the right place?

He went down the wrong stairs.

There's only one set of stairs.

I know where they're going.

Hello?

Carter!

Better not be leading

us into a trap.

What's going on?

Oh, you gotta be kidding me.

Did you find it?

Is there some kind of

sub-basement or...

No, no, no, what are

you talking about?

- A staircase going down.

- What?

Carter, can you hear me?

We gotta go back.

I can't ask you to

follow me down here.

You understand?

Guys, what's happening?

Nothing. We're...

We're gonna go down the stairs.

Hey, leading in with him.

Hey, you get to go first.

Yeah, right.

I'm not asking.

Be quiet.

Don't bother.

You won't be able to move.

What? Richard?

Be patient.

I'm almost ready.

What-what-what is this?

I saw you die.

I had no idea that it

would feel like this.

The years I spent

operating on people.

Opening them up and

stitching them back

together again.

It's remarkable, the

sensation it's...

Not pain, more a

sense of release.

Why, why are you...

Be quiet, please.

This is uncharted territory.

The chance to study

my own transformation.

I understand your

hesitation, Allison, but

let me ask you, all these

years, haven't you ever

wished to save someone

beyond saving?

No matter what the costs?

Well, losing Sarah destroyed me.

But it also compelled

me to find a solution.

You'd be surprised at the

things you find when you

go looking.

It smells like a grave.

I've seen this place before.

This was all over the

house we cleaned out.

He made us look at things.

The worst things I've ever seen.

We found rooms full of bodies in

the basement of that place.

They had someone on a

table like they were doing

surgery down there.

Half turned into

one of those things.

No!

No, worse than that.

Like a nightmare.

It isn't real.

It's not real.

It's a rat's maze.

Carter!

Is he here?

Hey!

Yeah.

He has took me here to... baby.

I'm right here, kiddo.

It's okay, it's alright.

You're gonna be fine.

You're lucky your grandpa

cares about you so much.

My grandpa just yells

at his TV and smokes.

Sh*t!

- Help her, help her.

- Sh*t, okay, okay! Wait, wait.

Help her, please.

- The paradigm, I think.

- Alright.

Okay, Maggie, hold

still for one second.

I got this. Okay.

I'm gonna give you

something that's really

gonna help you.

It's gonna feel really good.

- You're doing real good.

- It's alright, it's alright.

- Okay.

- It's gonna be real painless.

It's gonna be okay in a second.

- Okay, okay.

- Just give me a second.

Okay, okay.

Okay, you gotta hold her still.

You gotta hold her still.

Easy, once I get this in.

Okay, ready?

There you go.

Yeah, yeah.

It's okay.

There's no problem. No problem.

Great.

I'm not going in there.

F***ing shoot me.

Hey.

This is it.

This is what?

I appreciate your enthusiasm but

we need to think this through.

This is a mistake.

Come here, you little f***.

Do you know where

you go when you die?

I do.

You travel on, reborn into

something else, like a

caterpillar becoming a moth.

Until now I've only been able to

track the moth in its cocoon.

The body has to

adjust, of course.

It adapts.

We weren't built for

this kind of thing.

I admit, early on

i made mistakes.

Some of those earliest mistakes

are still down here with us.

In fact, they caused the fire

that destroyed this hospital.

You see, they want to die,

but I won't let them.

Don't cry, Allison.

I am going to help you.

This is an end to the

cycle of life and death.

Do you really want this world?

This world that took

your son from you?

Do you know what happened

that night to your unborn child?

No, please.

Umbilical cord became entangled.

Simple as that.

Strange, isn't it?

The very lifeline between

you and your child,

constricting like a noose

around his neck as he

struggled to get out.

Tighter and tighter until

finally it couldn't

struggle anymore.

Nature's futility.

I can stop it.

This is the first real step.

The true resurrection.

I lost my daughter to the

abyss, but tonight, I am

calling her back.

Richard.

Please.

Don't do this.

But it's already done.

You are so beautiful, Allison.

You will become something

truly remarkable.

This is a slaughter house.

Get this off of me!

Shut the f*** up!

I should've killed you

back at the house.

Get a hold of yourself.

Is she alright?

She feels hot.

Oh god.

- Lord! Do something!

- Oh god, okay!

Okay!

Uh... Get a hold of yourself.

F*** you.

Look around us, huh?

I told you.

This was a mistake.

He knows something.

We need you with us.

He's in his head!

Stop it!

We're in hell.

You've got to hold her still!

It's gonna be okay!

That's the front entrance!

Where are you going?

Wake up, damnit!

I can't do it!

- I can't do it!

- You have to!

No! No! No! No! No!

You do what you have to do!

I'll keep those bastards out.

I can't kill her.

You have to do this.

You are the only chance she has.

No.

Please!

Sorry, I can't.

Please do this!

Oh my god!

Why did you do that?

It's finally time.

How could you?

Your baby.

Doctor Paul is a great man.

I'm lucky to carry his child.

Nothing else matters now.

Don't worry.

Everything is about to change.

Get the f*** away from me!

Just wait.

Just wait.

What do we have to do?

Just wait.

This is your fault.

This is your fault!

I wasn't there.

You should've protected them!

Mother wants us to stay.

I told you, look after them.

But you stayed here.

You should have protected them!

Stay here, stay here.

I'm sorry.

What is this?

Carter, Carter, Carter!

Carter, where are you?

Shut the f*** up, shut the

f*** up, shut the f*** up.

Shut up.

F***!

Daniel?

Daniel?

Allison.

Where are you?

I'm scared.

No, no, no, no.

Allison, I'm right here.

I'm right here. I'm right here.

Look at me, it's okay.

Oh, I can feel it coming.

Oh, wow.

Hold my hand.

I need you.

I'm not gonna leave.

Daniel.

I know your secret.

I saw it in your face.

The night Allison

lost your child.

I saw relief.

What have you done?

I've given her what she wanted.

She's a mother.

Isn't she beautiful?

Daniel.

Stay.

Do you see, Daniel?

Tell me what you see.

I see...

A monster that thinks he's god.

I'm disappointed.

Of all the things I've shown you

and you still don't understand.

No.

No, you're right, I don't.

I refuse to let

death be the end.

I defy god.

There are things much older.

Older than time and

they blessed me.

Well, congratulations.

I spent my life resisting death,

but now I understand.

I must embrace it.

I'll have my beautiful

daughter back.

I just need one final thing.

Come, join me.
